Learning Through Play | Shahneila Saeed | TEDxMatera

The general theme is that children playing never really changes. So we need to capitalise on that in education to change. There has been a lot of changes recently to what we teach, so now teachers need to catch up to change the way we teach.
Yes, education needs to change as a whole – but that will take years. In the meantime, teachers can make small changese in the classroom to make huge impact on students and their desire to create.

How to initiate learning through play in adults ?

[LS-myrp]

Yes, all we need is some babysitters at schools. No teachers. Since kids learn everything through play. Writing, reading, calculating, science-knowledge all come, only and exclusively, through actual teaching, in actual classrooms, by actual teachers in actual schools. You acquire a skill in only 1 way: practice. Of course children learn how to socialize through play and how to communicate with peers, solve small conflicts, but to say learning through play is the be all end all is an abomination.
